Photography->City
One of the few times we flew over downtown Houston while landing at Hobby airport which is just south of downtown. Usually we come in over the Gulf of Mexico. While it was taken out of the window of the airplane (not the best quality), I wanted to share "my" beautiful city with my Caedes friends. If you look on the bottom left, you'll see the Bayou where I took some of the previous posts of the city and for you baseball fans, Minute Maid Park is on the upper side, almost middle ;) Thanks for taking a peek and I appreciate all of you. Anita

A nice pic...it must be fun flying over the city on those hang gliders. So you landed at the airport? Must have made you feel like a big shot gliding on to the run way...police escort and all.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Interesting view. I can't quite get my bearings. I am looking for the George E. Brown Convention center. That's where I always went a lot when trucking into Houston. Or even better, to the Astrodome complex. Don't see either one. ????? Great shot of the city.

What an interesting view over Houston. It's so clear you could provide a traffic report. The news in Italy is reporting snow in Texas this morning...might be a different picture now. Thanks for sharing Anita.

The shot looks fine for me!....You have to remember there are two windows your camera has to shoot through to take a snap!....and if the window cleaner's ain't done their job proper!...then it's hell on us camera hounds>?......Thanks for an insight of where you live!...

Hi Anita,
Well, as we say here in Lancashire, " I'm Gobsmacked " ( it means, speachless ).
A wonderful view. I saved it. Thanks Anita.

Hi Anita, welcome home :o)
Very nice shot causes me vertigo ... maybe because it's a little askew ... and is polarizing inside :o))

That's really good from the air and through the window. It looks like the nose of the plane was tilted up and you are banking for your landing. Nice job, Anita!

Hi Anita, We don't often get a birds-eye view of where we live, do we? I love looking down out of a plane and it's great you could share your city with us this way.

Very good Anita. Next time you decide to fly, I would make sure the window cleaners did their job. However, it does add something to it.

I think it looks fine Anita. Now I can say I've flown over Houston :)
It looks so big to me I'm sure I would get lost. Considering the circumstances, it looks great and thanks for sharing.

Stop for just a moment to see all the beauty around you- you'll be amazed at what you see
Terrific shot Anita ... and even more remarkable knowing it was through a window! I would be a little nervous so close to the buildings.

PS- JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, I JUST CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE THANK YOU'S AND STILL HAVE TIME TO ENJOY ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK - SO PLEASE KNOW THAT I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!!!!
I'm glad you cleared that up Anita ... I had visions of you standing out on the wing of the plane ... camera in one hand ... the other hand straining to keep your dress at a modest level. Whew! Beautiful shot of the City by the way.

This is a great shot of Houston, Anita. I downloaded it and put it into my screensaver as cityscapes are one of my favorite catagories. It appears the ship was listing considerably; glad you're on the ground safe and sound....Neil

I love this shot of Houston flying back into the city. Great shot! It reminds me when I lived close enough to drive and visit it a little more than now. Thanks for sharing.
